    <p><b> DINING, DRINKING AND CAFFEINATING 
IN THE PORT CITY!</b></p>

<p>So here is a guide to some of the best 
places to go during your stay in Wilmington. While most of these businesses 
are downtown within walking distance of the venues, there are others 
that are a car-ride away. But it is all well worth whatever short walk 
or trek you have to make! Take advantage of downtime when bands aren’t 
playing to head towards the University and grab a pita or a smoothie, 
or pick yourself up with a strong cup off coffee at one of the amazing 
cafés downtown, or hell, keep drinking! Either way, enjoy your stay 
and have a good time! And please be respectful of each other and the 
local business owners and employees.<br/></p>
